It doesn’t get much hotter than the EGG cookin’ in July! Make sure to keep yourself hydrated with a bit of whatever you’re using for the Beer Can Chicken. Ice Cream Sandwiches are also a great way to stay cool. Looking for some great ideas for a summer cook out? Try out a Pimento Cheeseburger or Dr. BBQ’s Spare Rib Surprise. Just don’t be surprised if your neighbors stop by for a quick bite when they smell what you’re cooking!

Houston, we have a problem. Egg stuck shut.

So a few days ago I did a clean burn after I cooked a meal. I had it wide open (top and bottom) right after the cook and I forgot about it for a little over an hour. When I went outside, the thermometer was pinned at it max. I just closed the top and bottom up and never opened it. We did have a snow and cold temps here foe a few days. Today I went out to the egg and it is stuck closed. Did I melt the gasket together or is it just frozen. It was only down to 12degrees at night but the days waked up to 40 degrees. So what is the issue? How do I get it open. Thanks all, as always!

Sounds like the gasket has fused. Some have said to get some lump in through the lower damper, light it and let the warmth loosen the glue. Not sure if that works as I haven't had mine seal up like that.
